'''Rakt''' {{coord|51|40|35|N|5|34|55|E|type:city_region:NL|name=Rakt}} is a village in the former municipality of [Uden](/source/Uden), [North Brabant](/source/North_Brabant), the [Netherlands](/source/Netherlands). Since 2022 it has been part of the new municipality of [Maashorst](/source/Maashorst).

The site of a famous windmill, Molen van Jetten (built in 1811 and moved to its current location in 1900), Rakt is also home to FC de Rakt, an amateur [football](/source/association_football) club founded in 1968 with its homeground at the Moleneind, below the mill. Each year the club organises a football tournament in the fields surrounding the mill.<ref>[http://www.molenvanjetten.nl/actueel/oudnieuws_eng.html] Molen van Jetten - News</ref>

==FC de Rakt==
In September 2008 the local amateur women's football team FC de Rakt (FC de Rakt DA1) made international headlines by swapping their old [kit](/source/kit_(association_football)) for a new one featuring skirts and fitted shirts.<ref>[https://www.theguardian.com/football/2008/sep/21/2] Football: Said and Done, The Observer (London); Sep 21, 2008; David Hills; p. 15</ref> The reason being the team felt the kits were more comfortable, since women's teams often had to use clothes designed for men's bodies, rather than women's shorts and women's shirts.<ref>{{Cite news |date=2008-09-15 |title=Dutch women ditch shorts to play soccer in skirts |language=en-GB |work=Reuters |url=https://www.reuters.com/article/idUSLF127103/ |access-date=2023-11-21}}</ref>
